The framework is designed to allow developers to integrate Web analytics into Silverlight applications. It will be able to track out-of-browser and offline applications, as well as support multiple analytics services from various third-party vendors, according to information on Microsofts Mix Web site. Scherotter provided a few more details about the Silverlight Analytics Framework on his blog last week.

The new framework will support designers using Microsofts Expression Blend tool to build applications without coding, Scherotter said. It also will work with Microsofts SketchFlow tool and the Silverlight Media Framework.

Microsoft plans to release for download via its Codeplex site a free, open-source analytics framework for Silverlight this week.
